On Monday, Frozen overtook the top spot at the box office with $7.9 million, while the Hobbit sequel made $6.5 million.

The Golden Globe-nominated film opened wide in North America on November 27 to earn $93.6 million for the five-day holiday debut, setting a new record for the largest Thanksgiving debut in history. It was also the largest opening ever for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film.

Internationally, Frozen became the biggest Walt Disney Animation Studios release of all time in the U.K./Ireland Monday. The film has yet to be released in several territories including China, Brazil, Argentina, Korea and Japan.
